Sam Fuller's experiences would fill the lives of ten ordinary people. His autobiography covers his work in the newspaper business (copyboy, crime reporter, traveling chronicler of the Depression, cartoonist), his time in the Army in World War II (North Africa, Sicily, Omaha Beach, Battle of the Bulge, Falkenau), his novels and screenplays (The Dark Page was published while he was at war), his first job as a director (I Shot Jesse James), his productive relationship with Darryl Zanuck, his eventual alienation from the American movie business, his late films and acting cameos, and, finally, a message on the last page that would bring a tear to even a crusty old cuss like Fuller himself.
